Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.

If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over.

And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

Spoiler alert!

I thought OFTEN was a very poor definition for FREQUENT. The former is an adverb while the latter is an adjective.

I'm not a political consultant but i feel like dems could probably get a lot of leverage out of pushing for green technologies that would wean the us off being dependent on oil in this particular moment

The doom and despair come from that big little word "if"

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

I had assumed it was intentional! A "justifice" would be a court justice who first determines what their decision will be based on some personal reason and only then researches the law and precedents to find some sort of justification.

Disgraceful indeed. Some heads should roll in the Fargo PD.

In short, the bombings will continue until morale improves.

On the menu tonight, a chef’s special: two hours of stolen valor.

My PhD research 40 years ago was fully based on my atmospheric science modeling work on the supercomputers in that very building. And that led to a 30+ year career at NOAA's Environmental Modeling Center improving our nation's weather forecasts. And I am but one of many. The loss will be great.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

All of this horror, murder, trump’s popularity, is based on the irrational (racist) notion that immigrants are bad, criminals and need to be purged from the nation. This must be challenged. We need new pragmatic understanding of citizenship and human mobility. #NomadCentury

In Trump's telling, the US are the equivalent of the Nazis

At the Powderhorn Art Sled Rally in Minneapolis, bowling pins with the names of politicians (Erdogan, Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, etc.) sledded down then were demolished by a big, slow-moving ball.

Mr. Xi has made the reasons for the country's investments explicit, arguing that a nation's global power depends on its scientific dominance. "The scientific and technological revolution is intertwined with the game between superpowers," he said in a speech in 2024. President Trump's administration has taken the opposite tack, aiming to cut billions of dollars in research grants for U.S. universities.

Can’t dominante in science if you’re run by climate deniers, the original anti-science meatheads.

I have watched the video of the horrible ICE shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis over & over.

It is grotesque to hear Kristi Noem justify her killing as a response to "domestic terrorism” & for Trump to spread further lies on social media. [1/2]

Joseph Goebbels would have been embarrassed if anybody who worked for him had presented such pitiful.fabrications as Homeland Security and our Outlaw Prez came up with in their lies about the ICE murder in Minnesota.

Rebuilding a democracy when these thugs are ousted will take many years.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

It didn’t take a Reichstag Fire to burn down Congress | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus, what’s troubling about Maine’s Nazi tattoo flap.

The Founders knew Congress - especially the House - was the backbone of U.S. democracy. It should be a huge story that Mike Johnson, serving Trump, has all but shut it down

From the Reichstag Fire to Putin's toothless Duma, this is what dictators do. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

A political liberal, Ms. Lockhart had no illusions about the good old days. In a 2004 interview with The New York Times, she recalled a connection “Lassie” script writers had with McCarthy-era blacklisting. “When people come up to me and say, ‘Well, sure wish we had wonderful American shows like that the way we used to in the ’50s,’ I say: ‘Let me tell you who wrote those scripts.’ Yes, they were good Americans, and they were in jail.

June Lockhart's obituary brings with it a reminder of the Hollywood Blacklist, a period which I fear we're about to see repeated — so buckle up! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/a...

The Future Is Coming and It's (Literally) Sunny: Notes on the Solar Revolution I drove home to San Francisco from New Mexico last weekend, and in the western Mojave desert of California I passed in quick succession three vast renewable energy sites: the first was three solar con...

The solar revolution means that power can be decentralized, democratized, distributed far more justly. So it makes perfect and hideous sense, given the nostalgia of authoritarians for a golden age (of exclusion, exploitation, and inequality ), to tie themselves to all fossil fuel's problems.

I feel basic research is quite sexy.

They're going extra innings now. Still watching? I'm rooting for the M's too as we got married in Seattle over 40 years ago.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Elon Musk is now worth over $500 billion.

That means his net worth has gone up by $100 billion in less than a year.

Tax. The. Damn. Rich.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?
